night for Poseyville Ind, having in custody
Horace Greeley jacques, alias Henry G. Fields
alias George Brown. He was arrested on charges
of arson and perjury
Horace Greeley jacques WAS born in Posey-
Vile Posey county, Ind, about thirty years ago.
During 1881 1882 and the early part
of 1883 he did business there as a grain
merchant, ard received wheat from
various farmers, with the understanding
that when they were ready to sell he
to have the preference at the market price.
During June and July, 1882, he received from
James and Joseph Gale, John G. Smith, and
other farmers of that section, about 15, 600 bush
els of wheat on storage. Instead of storing it
he sold it i'm m adiatey but to prevent this from
being discovered he put false bottoms in his
granares. They were really hollow. and con-
tanned a few bushels of wheat sprinkled over the
boards so to hide them. He also filled sacks
of wheat, placing them so as to make it appear
that the eranery filled to overlooking. BY
this scheme he succeeded In getting the sgranary
ahd contents insured for over SIG, 900 in various
companies. He then invested IN dozen
candles and experimeted with them, and about
Jan l. 1883, he put the remaining candles in
various parts of the grocery, saturated every
thing with coal OIL cut the ropes attached to the
weights used in raising the doors so they could
not be opened from the outside. and then he
rode to Mt. Vernon, twenty miles away. When
he returned the next day he discovered that his
large grocery with all the contents had burned.
and settled with them for $13. 000 He then
titled all the farmers who had stored their grain
with him that on a certain day their claims
would be paid in full. Before the appointed
time arrived jacques skipped"

SEVILLE came to Chicago and told Matt W. Pin

IT seems Mr.. Thomas Edward Powell, Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor in Ohio. is COW
LAWYER. The Cincinnati Commercial says:
''Hr. Powell is q good speaker, and has tried
in his law practice to make speciality of cases
against railroads aud other corporations, so that
in the course of nearly quarter of century of
legal experience he has probably recovered dam
ages for more injured cows than any other man
in Central Ohio. but he has never proven such
terror the soulless corporations that they have
found ID necessary to buy up his legal services
for their particular and private SO he is
still in the field for cow cases. The force and
pathos with which he can describe the Staying
of a sweet-tempered and dutiful family by
tho remorseless locomotive of a grinding railroad
monopoly is wonderful, and has seldom been
equaled by the tragic poets in their most sub
lime and fearful flights"

Ex-SECRETARY Manning is at Long Branch
for his health. Governor Hill is there also
but not for his health; and the President is so
consumed with anxiety to discover what he is
there for, and why he is hoo-n obbing with the
man who once fguredas his own right bower,
that he has sent Dan Lamont and Bissel, of
Buffalo, down to see. Mr.. Cleveland's path
for the next year is likely to be filed with the
thorns of suspicion and jealousy.

TAYLOR county, Kentucky, having ac-
cumulated railroad debt of about $780, 600,
is trying to cancel it by reputation. This is
not new way of paying old debts, for it has
been tried before with very unsatisfactory re-
suits. 1t generally happens in such cases
that the creditors have the United States
Court on their side, a circumstance that is
apt to prove embarrassing to counties that
attempt to repudiate their honest debts. In
this case judgment was rendered In favor OF

A CUBIC NILE OT

The solid earth occupies a space
equal to 2662cubic miles. Few peo-
pie have any conception of the i'm
mensity of the space in a single mile.
Professor Bernstein, an eminent Ger
man savant, illustrates it in a strik-
ing way. Imagine, he says, a box
one mile each way-long wide and
deep-and let us try to fill it. We
will take all the great cities Of Eu-
rope: London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna,
St. Petersburg, Constantinople and
the rest the bottom is scarcely COW
cred. We take up everything else
that human hands have built in
Europe, Asia, Africa, America, Aus
~tralia, and all the ships floating on
the sea throw it all in, and the box
is scarcely half full. Then we wi
lay in all the people of the globe.

leaves in the worldly we will pro-
ceed to pack in the balance of man

How much the heart may bear and yet
not break!
How much the flesh may suffer and
not die!
| question much if any pain or ache
Of soul or body brings our end more
nigh.
Death chooses his own time; till that is
worn,
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel
steel,
Whose edge seems searching for the
quivering life;
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still, although the trembling flesh
be torn,
This, also, can be borne.
We see a sorrow rising in our way,
And try to flee from the approachingill.
w e seek some small eSCape-We weep
and pray,
But when the blow falls, then our
hearts are still,
Not that the pain is of its sharpness shorn,
But think it can be borne.
We wind our life about another life,
We hold it closer, dearer than our own,
Anon it faints and falls in deadly strife,
Leaving us stunned, and stricken, and
alone;
But ah! we do not die with those we
mourn,
This, also, can be borne.
Behold, we live through all things,
famine, thirst,
Bereavement, pain; all grief and
misery,
All woe and sorrow; life inficts its worst
On soul and body, but We cannot die,
Though we be sick, and tired, and faint
and worn;
Lo! all things can be borne.
Good Words.

The FeeeInR Value of Oats.

The better farm economy and the feed
ing value of farm crops are understood
the more oats will be appreciated, and the
larger will be their consumption on the
farm. The idea is generally entertained
that they ale not as profitable to raise a.
corn, and hence are always made to take
secondary place. In the first place let
us compare the cost of producing an acre
of oats and their value with corn. 1t is
estimated that four dollars per acre will
cover the cost of blowing, sowing, har-
vesting and stacking including seed
The straw if valued by the amount of
fat and fiesh-forming principles it con
tains, is worth about half as much as an
equal quantity of ordinary meadow hay,
or about one-thrd as much as the same
weight of corn. In other words, if the
product of oats straw be a ton per acre,
1t is equivalent in feeding value to half a
ton of meadow hay or six hundred and
sixty-six pounds (nearly twelve bushels
of corn.
The feeding value of any kind of food
is determined by chemical analysis.
which fixes the feeding value of bushel
of oats at about two.thirds that of a
bushel of corn IT, therefore, crop of
corn be thirty-six bushels per acre, it will
require ton of oats straw and thirty
six bushels of oats. If the prodnct of
corn be sixty bushels per acre, it will re-
quire ton of the oats straw and seventy
